Ed Lingao validates Mocha Uson’s “EDSA people power is Fake News” survey

February 27, 2018February 27, 2018 benign0 6 Comments

The Opposition’s “thought leaders” are, yet again, getting all their panties twisted, this time over an online poll conducted by Assistant Secretary for Social Media Mocha Uson. In a survey posted on Facebook, Uson asked her followers, “Naniniwala ba kayo na ang 1986 EDSA PEOPLE POWER ay isang produkto ng FAKE NEWS???” (Translated: “Do you…

Senate inquiry on “fake news” turns into pointless finger-pointing exercise

January 30, 2018 Ilda 28 Comments

It’s not clear what Senator Grace Poe as the chairman for the Committee on Public Information and Mass Media wanted to achieve in conducting a hearing on fake news. The hearing did not have any clear objective. Poe just allowed the resource speakers to state their claim and then… nothing. She doesn’t even ask for…

Some members of mainstream media are the real enemies of the Filipino people

January 29, 2018December 12, 2021 Ilda 7 Comments

Who are the real enemies of the Filipino people? No, it’s not the Chinese nor Americans. In fact, we don’t need to look too far to see that the real enemies are Filipinos themselves – those who will do anything including betray their own countrymen just to achieve their own personal agendas. They are rotten to…

Filipinos need an Opposition focused on REAL issues and not on Mocha Uson

January 26, 2018 benign0 37 Comments

To be fair, once “Noted Blogger” Manuel L Quezon III stopped blogging (or at least desisted from politically-controversial writing) whilst he was an undersecretary during the administration of former President Benigno Simeon ‘BS’ Aquino III. Much of what ails the communication machine of current President Rodrigo Duterte has to do with too many communication channels…

Lazy journalism: Is Filipino public sentiment really against Mocha Uson’s UST award?

January 24, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

So Mocha Uson plans to return her “Thomasian Alumni Award for Government Service” and University of Santo Tomas (UST) Alumni Association president Henry Tenedero has resigned following unfavourable “Netizens’ reactions”. Both are responses to the “public backlash” resulting from the latter granting this award to the earlier. Presumably, the so-called negative “Netizens’ reactions” is representative…

You can’t destroy Mocha Uson by dragging her through the mud — because she’s already been there

January 23, 2018June 6, 2018 benign0 8 Comments

The amount of time and space being given to the “issue” that is the awarding of distinction to Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson by the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Alumni Association is amazing. I may not be a big fan of the current Philippine Opposition and, specifically, the bloc of bozos who currently lead them,…

Good Filipino Catholics agree: Mocha Uson deserves her UST award!

January 22, 2018January 22, 2018 benign0 4 Comments

People who are frothing in the mouth over the University of Santo Tomas’s (UST) Alumni Association awarding Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson distinction for government service should just get over it. “Awards” by institutions nowadays have long been under blanket suspicion anyway. Data generated by social media activity had taken over as more reliable indicators of…

Rappler contradicts its own brand story by clinging on to mainstream by-laws

November 10, 2017November 10, 2017 benign0 3 Comments

If Rappler people were true dyed-in-the-wool hipsters, believers in the real essence of “online journalism”, and secure in their organisation’s position as a self-described nexus platform for online “thought leadership”, then it wouldn’t matter to them how they are classified — much less even bothered the least bit by what “Die-hard Duterte Supporter” (DDS) bloggers…
